ORGANIZATIONSarah Webster Fabio Center for Social Justice (SWFCenter), a 501(c)3, was created with the goal of elevating the voices of young adults (ages 18-26). SWFCenter was inspired by the work of Sarah Webster Fabio, scholar, educator, cultural critic, and poet. By speaking her truth, Sarah inspired future generations of community organizers, poets, musicians, and academics.

MISSIONThe mission of the Sarah Webster Fabio Center for Social Justice (SWFCenter) We provide collaborative community-based spaces that support the needs of young adults whose voices are traditionally underrepresented. SWFCenterprovides opportunities for self-expression through music, storytelling, video, art and technology. By providing safe spaces for creative skill building, we are supporting the telling of personal narratives and inspiring change.

GOALThe goal is to change the way we view young, people of color, and, more importantly, to change the way they see themselves. SWFCenter programs are designed to teach participants control of their image through learning to deconstruct or create media.

By taking an unflinching look at racial, political, social, cultural, economic, and emotional issues we negotiate external demands with our internal needs. It is not easy!

SWFCenter guides young adults towards personal responsibility. We identify with them the options they have as responses to external demands. Media can become a conduit that allows SWFCenter to approach these tough issues. Through the conduit we encourage healthy responses.
